    It’s not even contrarian for me, I think children viewing porn fundamentally improves society provided they receive appropriate context through discussions with trusted adults (like parents). And those discussions only happens when people become more comfortable talking about these things, which restrictions do not help at all.

    I also completely support children seeing video footage of executions, dead bodies and the severely malnourished with a trusted adult (like a teacher) to provide context. This improves society, and is how I learned about various things, like the horrors of the Holocaust, accurately.

      Well… If u’r talking abt it from the perspective of sex ed, porn isn’t quite it. If porn is treated as sex ed, then that can be massively dangerous- porn without consensual sex, extreme body dimensions, which includes large dicks, big breasts n so on. Normal ppl sex doesn’t work like that.

      For education abt something like the Holocaust n so on, dead bodies, mutilations, etc. can have a traumatic effect on kids. Sure, while they need to be taught abt this, they should definitely not be shown these graphics till their teens at least.

        I’m not treating it as sex Ed at all. It’s entertainment, like an action movie or something. Not at all realistic. Which is why it’s so important that trusted adults explain this to them.

        And yes, I want them to be a bit traumatized by the Holocaust. I agree in teens is where it is appropriate, but it is still traumatizing. That’s the point.
